Canon Capital Wealth Management Presents: Financial Self-Defense Moves for Your Work Retirement Plan and IRA Assets

We are pleased to announce the third seminar in our series on Financial Literacy, Financial Self-Defense Moves for Your Work Retirement Plan and IRA Assets. Taking place Wednesday, September 21st in our Hatfield location, we are offering two sessions so you may attend at your convenience. The first session will run from 3:00-4:00 pm and the second 7:00-8:00 pm.

You will learn:

• Strategies to maximize your account assets in time for your retirement
• Retirement plan expenses and how excessive fees can eat into your account returns
• Tax implications – whether to use pre-tax or Roth contributions
• Different account features – what they are and tips on how to use them

The information provided in this seminar is based on the recently-published book – Your 401k, The Danger Within – which was co-written by Dr. Peter Roland, Managing Director and one of the founders of Canon Capital, and Roger Levy, CEO of Cambridge Fiduciary Services, LLC. Roger Levy’s name might sound familiar to you because he filed an amicus brief in support of the plaintiff, 401(k) plan participants, in the recent landmark Supreme Court case, Tibble v. Edison International.

This seminar is provided free of charge and is for any individuals desiring to maximize the amounts accumulated in their retirement accounts and also to learn what to look for when reviewing account investments, expenses, and service features.

Our time together will be both educational and informative. Please feel free to bring a relative or friend who might benefit from the topic. Every attendee will receive a free copy of Your 401k, The Danger Within, and Dr. Roland will be happy to sign your copy.

Do You Work in Philadelphia? Paid Sick Leave is Here

If your daily commute involves enduring the Schuylkill Expressway or hopping on Septa Regional Rail to Philadelphia, a city ordinance that took effect in May 2015 applies to you. Although you may live in the suburbs, if you are a full- or part-time employee who works at least 40 hours per year for a Philadelphia business the new “Promoting Healthy Families and Workplaces” ordinance brings you new benefits. What does this mean? Through this legislation, you now accrue one hour of paid sick leave for every 40 hours worked. The maximum for each year is 40 hours.

Most Employers with Less Than 10 Employees May be Exempt from Providing Paid Sick Leave

While this ordinance applies to all employers conducting business within the city of Philadelphia, those with less than 10 employees are required to provide only unpaid sick leave. They are required to do so, however, at the same rate as those businesses providing paid sick leave. The Philadelphia Department of Commerce reports that “certain chain establishments are required to provide paid sick leave regardless of the number of employees at the chain’s Philadelphia location.”

Expansive Coverage But Not All Types of Employees are Eligible

There are a few employment situations where this paid sick leave ordinance will not apply. According to this flyer from the Philadelphia Department of Commerce providing a summary of the legislation, it does not apply to:

  • Independent Contractors
  • Seasonal Workers
  • Adjunct Professors
  • Employees hired for a term of less than 6 months
  • Interns
  • Pool employees
  • Employees covered by collective bargaining agreements
  • State and Federal employees
